| 131 | "girl wishes to learn more of Tyros, which of the Books would be most advantageous in her reading"
Answer
Hello,
I was impressed with your question. You did not ask for an essay of Tyros but instead ask for which books to read that speak of that city. Those books are 6 and then 8.
And then, due to the phrasing of your question I have added what the other books tell us of Tyros.
Cos lies north of Tyros and west of Port Kar, which latter city is located in the Tamber Gulf, which lies just beyond the Vosk's delta. There are four major cities on Cos, Telnus, Selnar, Temos and Jad. Telnus is the largest of these and has the best harbor. The Ubar of Cos is Lurius, from the city of Jad. The capital of Tyros, Gor's other largest maritime Ubarate, is Kasra. Its other large city is Tentium. Her Ubar is called Chenbar. He is from Kasra, and is spoken of, I understand, as the Sea Sleen.

Tyros is known for several things, silk, trainable varts, quarries, caves, even labyrinths of caves, wine, perfume, cherries, body cages and its knife walls. Tyros is a rocky island with deep inlets. It is said that beyond Cos and Tyros lies the world's end.
Be well,

About Kutaituchik there were piled various goods, mostly vessels of precious metal and strings and piles of jewels; there was silk there from Tyros; silver from Thentis and Tharna; tapestries from the mills of Ar; wines from Cos; dates from the city of Tor.

The important point, however, in the circumstances was that Kamras had proposed the sword as the weapon of his encounter with Kamchak, and poor Kamchak was almost certain to be as unfamiliar with the sword as you or I would be with any of the more unusual weapons of Gor, say, the whip knife of Port Kar or the trained varts of the caves of Tyros.

The fleets of tarn ships of Port Kar are the scourge of Thassa, beautiful, lateen-rigged galleys that ply the trade of plunder and enslavement from the Ta-Thassa Mountains of the southern hemisphere of Gor to the ice lakes of the North; and westward even beyond the terraced island of Cos and the rocky Tyros, with its labyrinths of vart caves.

The world's end was said to lie beyond Cos and Tyros, at the end of Thassa, at the world's edge.

With the tip of my tongue I touched her lips. Some slave cosmetics are flavored. "Does Master enjoy my taste?" she asked. "The lipstick is flavored," I said. "I know," she said. "It reminds me of the cherries of Tyros," I said.

She was as helpless, my hands upon her beauty, as one locked in one of the body cages of Tyros.

"To be sure," I said, "perhaps some will serve in the quarries of Tyros."

The crowd, now that it had segments of the forces of Cos before it, seemed strangely docile. These were not a handful of Taurentians that might have been swept from their path like figures off a kaissa board. These were warriors in serried ranks, many of whom had doubtless seen battle. To move against such would have been much like throwing themselves onto the knife walls of Tyros.
